What Is On Here?

Eighty percent of success is showing up or try to avoid the stress at Christmas time!

Many of us small business entrepreneurs or work from home types will no doubt be on the run up to Christmas.

And that is fine, but like most self employed types it can be a frustrating down time as you still want to keep an eye on your business interests.

That said, sometimes it is great just to relax and let yourself enjoy the time and think about the next year and also adopt one or two ways of improving your outlook on the coming year.

Woody Allen has a great way of looking at life. Maybe not to everyones tastes but he is a firm fave in my home.

Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he pulls out with gusto, even without even trying.

You can talk just about anything with the man, and he's bound to mock the subject and you'll end up laughing rather than being upset about it.

But what's really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress?

I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works.

Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move?

It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this 'mind-over-matter' thing.

Humor is indeed the best medicine there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard.

Despite of what's been happening, and to those who has gone though the ordeal, it's better to just laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than anger with a clouded vision.

Woody Allen has this to say:

2. "I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government." 'Nuff said.

3. "There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?" This happens to be one of the classic ones. I mean the issue about life's little problems isn't all that bad, until 'he' shows up.

We follow what our heart desires, unless you're talking about the heart as in the heart that pump blood throughout your body.

4. "Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions." And if you want more, just keep on asking!

5. "A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'." It sounds, 'practical', I think.

And when it comes to everyday life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and it doesn't involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.

6. "Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats." I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in hot water makes me seasick already.

7. "I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." If it rains, it pours.

8. "I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose." It could get worse when you're guzzling on beer or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!

9. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." At least he doesn't smite us with lightning, and I'm thankful for that.
